Subject:Contract #24–794–5 (8) with Sutter Health dba Alta Bates Summit Medical Center
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
Due to lengthy negotiations of rates between the State and the parties, the County was
unable to execute the renewal in a timely manner. The Contractor has continued to provide
services in good faith.
Under Contract #24–794–5 (8), Contractor will provide inpatient psychiatric hospital
services for County referred children, adolescents, and adult clients, including psychiatric
services and routine hospital and ancillary services at its Herrick Hospital, through June 30,
2011, including mutual indemnification to hold harmless both parties for any claims arising
out of the performance of this contract.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this contract is not approved, County’s mental health clients will not receive the inpatient
psychiatric services that they need from Contractor’s facility.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
This program supports the following Board of Supervisors’ community outcome:
“Communities that are Safe and Provide a High Quality of Life for Children and Families”.
Expected program outcomes include a decrease in the need for inpatient care and placement
at a lower level of care.
